Por Larranaga cigars are made with tobacco harvested from the Vuelta Abajo region - widely acknowledged as the world’s premier tobacco-growing area. While the brand briefly included machine-made formats, today’s range emphasizes handmade quality, marrying tripa larga (long filler) and tripa corta (short filler) methods with expert Cuban torcedores.
History & Heritage
Having pioneered the introduction of rolling machinery in Cuban factories during the 1920s, Por Larranaga quickly became one of the six largest cigar brands on the island. Despite declining sales in the late 20th century, the brand made a return to fully handmade production in 2002 - securing its place once again among Cuba's most respected marques.
What to Expect from Por Larranaga Cigars
Expect a light-to-medium body with smooth, creamy notes complemented by subtle honeyed sweetness, gentle spice, and a refined finish. Por Larranaga cigars are revered for their balanced flavour - offering a polished smoking experience without overwhelming strength.
